Where is the Easiest access point to get on the Ice at Schroon Lake? The beach? Boat launch? Never Ice fished there, tks
I've always used the Schroon Lake town beach/launch. Behind Stewart's on dock street.
Is there access at all around Brill Island or the southern end of schroon other than the lower basin boat launch? I just dont want to ruffle any feathers by parking on private property or roadside where i dont belong. Any insight would be great. Thanks and tight lines
How are the edges with this warm up
Friday afternoon report for Schroon. Most of the snow has melted off, by Sat. morning there might be 2-3" of frozen snow-slush as temps are forecasted to be in the low single numbers tonight. Temps are rapidly falling right now. Ice is mostly over 20" thick, but I did find a couple spots of 18". If you go on at Fowler, and want to fish the east shoreline I would NOT cross straight across. I would swing down toward the northern part of the Island then cut up the lake on the far side. Didn't like the looks of the river channel in the center this morning.
Does anyone know if you can register for the tournament online? A buddy and I have been thinking of doing it this year. Just looking to save the drive up. Can you still register the weekend of the derby?
Do you think ice will be good for tournament? Saw next week temps in 30s and teens at night
Does anyone know how the lake held up aftet this warmup? Hope the edges made it through
As of this afternoon, no change at all. Schroon River didn't come up yet from snowmelt, may take a day or two. A lot of the mountains around here didn't warm up much more than 12 hrs or so, so snowmelt was limited.
I’m thinking of making the trip over from Maine next weekend.How’s the ice holding up?Thx.
Next weekend is the tournament so unless you are coming over for that, I'm sure the lake will be packed.
How much snow/slush?
